Dreamweaver cannot be a substitute for good design. Lots of horrible websites (as well as good ones) get created in Dreamweaver.
Great usability and looks need time and effort investment from a web designer as well as developer. It can't come (dirt) cheap.
Learning from some good designs also helps: e.g. Google. Simple yet nice, usable and fast.
